Hi Richard, for the answer to your question, my suggestion would be to Google, “use HTML email templates with gmail” <– or Yahoo or Mail. If it's possible, someone has likely created a how to article or video.

That said, Mail Chimp is free for up to 2000 subscribers and has two big benefits including keeping you in compliance with email laws and showing you who's opened your message. You can easily import existing contacts, give it a try! – Megan

Hi Dan, have you tried using the templates with Constant Contact? They’re just HTML templates, so, there’s probably a way to use them. Suggest Googling it if you haven’t already, something like “use HTML template constant contact” or “upload HTML email template constant contact.” I have not heard of any plans to create something special for Constant Contact. Let us know what you find out? Others will probably have the same question… – Megan
